this is a game about interaction. it's an internet republic.
we have to interact! no democracy without interaction.
imo it's no need to open this feature for everyone against everyone.
as you can see outfit fights and debates are provoking strong reactions and negative feelings, because some are simply not able to loose a game or to accept votes against themselves. perhaps some have a real grudge against others with the consequence that they don't give votes to them or vote repeatedly against them... or don't get votes from certain bimbos or just see votes against them from the same bimbo again and again - often just a question of the personal perspective.
i think it would be better to open this feature only through a moderator.
in this case a block could only be established, if the moderator confirms and accepts the reason, why a bimbo wants to block another "bimbo sister".
because it shouldn't be used as tactical feature.
what would happen if a famous bimbos sends messages to her friends to block a certain bimbo, because there's something, that she just doesn't like on this bimbo?
you don't have to tell her: you're not a bimbo. you just give her the stop sign: no, you're not allowed to enter this club. you're blocked.
in this case blocking will work like shutting someone out.
sad.

just repeating...
PLL is just showing the flaw of the system. very consequently. that's all.
it's not her fault. it's the fault of the developers who gave this blocking feature to every bimbo without thinking twice.
shouldn't we, the bimbos, be the brainless dollies?
why are the developers showing this being brainless feature so often?
i'm confused.

It's better that sh*t has hit the fan right while this is a fresh release. I think that if things didn't get brought up on this thread to be aired out/and if there was no notification that you've been blocked - the feature would be another notch in the problems we already have sometimes with debates/fights.

Hopefully, the iffy points of the feature can be addressed and improved upon for what it should be used for - ceasing contact with toxic scenarios between bimbos. As other's suggested ... mods/whoever in charge might have to review a blocking scenario before it goes through to ensure it is a legitimate reason to cease any contact.

That's why we actually should be really grateful to PLL for bringing up the point that this feature may be used differently than it was planned. I belive that developers had reasonable ideas to add this feature, however, they couldn't predict how creatively Bimbos would use it :)

I vote for bimbos have better looks than opponents, and look for fights both bimbos are well dressed.

When fighting list gets many pages, to fasten the process, i look for fights 4 vs 1, and vote for bimbo got 4 votes already unless her/his opponents were naked.

I send fights to whom dressing nice. I put effort to look creative so are they, and it makes fight much exciting as a fighter and for voter.

It can get boring seeing fights with same outfits again and again.

Or if someone send me fight, I send fight back. It's kind of showing appreciation using their tokens to fight me,and if I win on their fight,

I'm hoping they win on my fight. Sometimes I send debate if bimbo were new player to be fair.

If I loose a lot with particular looks, I try to come up with different look - SIMPLE!

I won't block people just because they don't vote for me, and find excuses to blame, justify myself to make my little own happy perfect world

( isn't same as having a gang?) while sitting there looking exactly the same as yesterday and thinking deserve to win.

I’d like to see the addition of a drop down choice to be made that you have to select perhaps something like -
I am blocking you because-
* I feel bullied or harrassed
* I feel voted against constantly
* I don’t not approve of comments made
or something like that- holds everyone a little more accountable than just a ‘click’ and no explanation.
easy for me to say I have NO idea the work that goes into changed

Just because you can
Doesn’t mean you should.

Hope this doesn't get me banned.

Few posts back, Carmel advocated for: "creating alliances." Sounds like advocating for gangs. I'd like to believe that wasn't really what you meant.

Orientina wrote just above that when voting is 4:1, she just makes it 5, apparently with little regard to the merits of the outfits. That may be a quick way to rack up reputation points by voting, but it seems extremely unfair to the fighters. If you see me in a fight, Orientina, and the score is 4:1 in either direction, how about just clicking skip, please? I don't want to win or lose because you didn't want to take the time to form your own opinion.

OMG{(-_-)}　I wrote "When fighting list gets many pages", and I never stated that I don't want to take time to form my opinion.

My standard for vote is same "bimbos have better looks than opponents, and look for fights both bimbos are well dressed"

Adding to this 4 vs1, there is a reason why they've got 4 votes already - they look better than opponents to my opinion, so don't see it unfair me voting better looking player and close fight at all.

I still skip if opponents were naked, or both of the looks are not my liking. I just leave them alone.

Since I've got more votes being senator, "WHEN FIGHTING LIST GETS MANY PAGES", I would use my votes to close fights help out all remaining fights get as much votes they can get from many other players and close fights.

To be fair ... if someone has garnered 4 consecutive votes and you have 1, that fight is basically over especially if your battle is at the top of the list. The person with 4 votes already has the majority (probably for good reason) and most bimbos will just close out the fight. It'll take 3 more votes consecutively in a row for the person with 1 vote in order to tie things up ... not a big percentage of chance for this to likely happen. And just because you, I or whoever else thinks we deserve the win or chance to win it doesn't mean others feel the same way. It is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Orientina, I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying. It seemed to be that you always vote for the better dressed, unless it's 4 to nothing, so why bother? Just be the 5th vote and get it done. Maybe that isn't your intent, but that seems to be what you are saying.

Esunia, you are more clear. If 4 to nothing, it's all over. Why bother. Never going to happen. At least that seems to be your very clear message.

To which I would say, talk to The Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942 who were down 3 to 0 in the Stanly Cup Final, and won 4 straight to take the series. Ditto:

1975 NHL Campbell Conference Quarterfinals (New York Islanders 4, Pittsburgh Penguins 3),

2004 MLB ALCS (Boston Red Sox 4, New York Yankees 3); <Imagine that, down 3-0 against the Yankees, and not just giving up. Unbelievable.>

2010 NHL Eastern Conference Semifinals (Philadelphia Flyers 4, Boston Bruins 3), and

2014 NHL Western Conference Quarterfinals (Los Angeles Kings 4, San Jose Sharks 3)

My son's high school basketball team was down 10 point with 45 seconds left on the clock in the playoffs to go to state finals. What followed was probably the worst 45 seconds of the other coach's life; His team lost.

It's said that it isn't over until the fat lady sings. In my opinion, anyone who casts the 5th vote for someone for the primary purpose of clearing the fight off the board, or is persuaded by the group-think of the other 4, is severely harming the integrity of the game and denying the person who is down a truly fair fight.

I don't really understand comparing real-life events based on actual skill in sports (in which players are responsible for their own team(s) fate) to voting in an online doll fashion game based on subjective opinion(s) in fashion, it's just not on the same level. There isn't anything on the line except some personal internet pride.

The point being is that person has garnered 4 votes, as I said before probably is for good reason - the person who only has 1 vote might just not have a nice look and more people passing by won't change the general consensus, and the results would still be most likely the same even if you increased the allowed vote amount up to 10. People are going to vote how they want to vote it's really not that deep of a theory. We all have certain sets of morals it doesn't mean everyone else will follow to them or we should expect them to. The most important thing is that people are abiding by the rules of bimboland - the 1 account only policy. Everything else is variable and can be altered by how you dress, debate, and how you interact with the community.
